[ della has a slightly serious look on her face... but for those who know her, there's definite playfulness in her eyes. ]

This is one of those "I can't believe I have to say this" kind of deals, so buckle up, folks.

Guys? I know I'm really amazing, very cool, and all around unbelievable. I'm so many things, it's hard to list them all. But one thing I'm not?

A deity. Yes, I am in fact, 100%, absolutely and truly not a goddess. And no, I'm not a demi-goddess either. Not a single trace of divinity in me. I won't name names, but this has happened about three or four times now. Just thought I'd mention it in case there's anyone else out there with this assumption.

... Y'know what? It's a new month, and that means we're getting newbies. Maybe now's a good time for everyone to sweep any other misunderstandings under the rug. So, if there's anything you wanna clear up about yourself, your world, your species, whatever, go for it.

Three! Triplet boys! Huey, Dewey, and Louie!

Triplets! .. And I thought that my mom had her hands full with two daughters.

[~~And a son, but Silvia doesn't always talk about him~~. Plus there was some distance between when she was born and her younger sister]

Oh, you bet! And I love every second of trouble they cause!

[It was certainly heart warming to hear her describe just how much she loves her boys]

I'm sure you do.

Huey can memorize anything in an instant! Dewey's always up for trying anything new! And there's no scheme Louie can't see through!

[ careful, she's liable to babble about her boys all day and night. ]

[That was likely going to happen]

I wish I had that sort of mental retention. [That and was more adventurous really.]

Is it difficult telling them apart or are they not identical?

They're identical, but they've developed their own identities. Plus they've got their own color scheme going on - Huey with red, Dewey with blue, and Louie with green.

I think the temptation would be too great to pull off some great pranks by switching outfits.

[Smiling at the thought]

Have they ever done something like that?

Are you kidding me? These kids are prank masters! They take off their old lady.

Ha! You sound so proud about that too.

Of course! I'm proud of absolutely everything they do!

[ pause, remembering Louie Inc. ]

... Eeeeh, almost everything.

[It's so touching to listen to Della talk about her family, and the amendment doesn't detract from it in the slightest.]

Makes me wonder... how my mom has been lately.

... Do you wanna talk about her?

[Silvia reached up to rub the back of her neck. She was in high school, she shouldn't seem so clingy to her familial connections.. but she did love her mom.]

I wouldn't know what to say. I just hope that she's doing ok, and is looking after my sister. Daisy can be a bit of a handful, really energetic... and my mom works such long hours at Kaiba Corp...

... Kaiba corp?

[ hold the phone - ]

... Like, as in Seto Kaiba?

[Oh yeah, maybe she shouldn't have mentioned that as it would lead to this confusion]

Yes, but not the one here. If that makes any sense. The Kaiba here is from a different dimension entirely.

[ Thankfully for Silvia, stuff like "different dimensions" is in fact a totally normal part of Della's life, so all that gets is a - ]

Oh, gotcha! Must've been pretty weird meeting the Seto here, huh?

[That does make it significantly easier]

Yes! It really was! They're very similar in some ways, and quite different in others.

Come on, give me some deets, don't leave me hanging!

[Come to think of it, hadn't Seto mentioned having a connection to someone named Della at one of their meetings? Was this ... that Della? No wonder she was interested]

Ha- well.. the one in my world seems a lot more authoritative and standoffish than the one here. I would be afraid to go up to him to ask for anything, even if it was just to challenge him to a duel!

[Then she proceeded after a breath] The Seto here offered his help before I even knew I needed it.. and he keeps looking out for me. That and he seems to have forged a lot more friendships.

You know my Kaiba.. I wonder sometimes if he's ever lonely in his position. As head of his company and being leagues beyond his peers it must be difficult finding anyone to relate to or trust. [Then she blushed a little and amended] I mean he's not my Kaiba. You know what I mean! [It's so hard to be a teenage girl at Domino high surrounded by attractive duelists... that don't even look your way. Sigh] That's something they have in common though, they seem to share a lot of the same history and hold the same position it's just more of a personality thing. I can't see the Kaiba in my timeline dating anyone...

I'm glad that despite everything that he can find some happiness even if it's in another dimension.

[ Della nods along with a smile. ]

... Maybe it's just a case of who they met. I bet if I dropped into your world, I could be buddy-buddy with that Seto too in the blink of an eye.

Does he still have his little brother there? Cause if he does, he's still happy... just a lot quieter about it.

Uh... [Silvia wasn't so sure of that but she tried to contain her negativity on the subject] .. maybe? I gotta admire your confidence!

Oh yeah, Mokuba? Of course! [Replying enthusiastically to the notion. Although she didn't really know him personally, it was impossible not to know who he was, and he always gave the impression of being a pretty good kid.] You're probably right... but he's not quiet about his loathing of "sub-standard" duelists.. his phrasing not mine.

Maybe he's one of those "tsundere" types - you know, a jerk on the outside, but a hidden heart of gold that slowly needs to be brought out?

Maybe we'll get Seto #2 on here and we can love-bomb him into being a normal person.

[ may or may not be kidding. ]

I... mean, maybe?! He could be that type.

[Look, she's read enough manga and seen enough anime to think it plausible but she's still hesitant to do anything about it.]

I'm really not sure that would work. [Her face draining of color at the thought] I wouldn't want to get my mom fired.

Wow. He'd really go that far?
